CONGRATULATIONS!!! Initial Impressions?
This is what really worries me. That as an NSX owner my "rep" will be tarnished in front of the 14 year olds on the Mustang forums.
It draws as much or more attention than an NSX.
It has the same level of refinement (2006 FGT vs 1991 NSX)...same supple ride (given the high performance capability)...GT MIGHT be more inflexible. I say it this way because I think the NSX is very rigid...but the GT may be more so.
FGT does not have the ergonomics of the NSX (visibility (over the hood or out back), seats, etc...) but that is not it's market.
NSX is a fabulous performance street car that works well on the track.
GT is a thinly veiled race car with good road manners...and essentially no storage space.

Yes Dave, it's me, don't go towards the light, go towards the "dark side"!!!!
Hey Dave, check out this link just posted on one of the GT Forums. That's me with a sh-t eating grin, as I drove up to collect the trophy for

Recall that my NSX got hit/totalled and I am just trying to fill the hole in my heart!
I don't know what is going to take precedence when the NSX rebuild is completed???

Which pulley/tune? Are you happy with the $/results?
Copy all
This car is on my radar for a future buy.
GT is a million $$ collector car only!! A white Balboni Edition Gallardo is on my radar. And much, much, lighter too!
They seem to be just going up in $s...so buy now/soon.
Lots of smart people eyeing this car lately. Good taste with the 77' as well. My friend has a 73; we went cruising around the hill country in it last weekend. Interior is a little rough but the outside has held up extremely well and the drivetrain has very little play considering its age. His has ~60k miles.
million $$ collector car?
I've seen Balboni Gallardos quoted at 3,042-3,400lbs and the Ford GT at ~3,400lbs.
My prediction that after the winter doldrums, the GT will be up another 20 grand overall. The number of no story cars is going down. There are many garage queens trading at crazy numbers currently. Cars with mileage are getting in excess of 200, salvage cars are going at 175. Buy now, or cry later!!!
Its happening...unrepaired/salvage one on e-bay is asking $149,000
and an already repaired all white, no stripe, low mileage FGT with salvage title is offered for $199,000 (from a reputable rebuilder).

Asking and selling it are two totally different things.
my impression is they are going for close to asking these days. Teehee and to think of the price i bought mine at...
as an aside, i'm converting to E85 for a total of $699 in parts in addition to my existing supercharger and CAI. I'm reasonably confident I can make 830RWHP at $3/gallon muhuhahahahahahaha
Sorry TURBO2GO:
